Which insurance company

[kdarrell]

Do you know of any insurance company who will be willing to take you on as a client after you have been diagnosed with diabetes?

[Belfrybat]

Have you tried Unicare? They were willing to accept me, but I'm Insulin Resistent (or Glucose Intolerant according to one Dr.), not full-blown diabetic. They did have a two year exclusion for anything related to it, but most insurance has that.

I don't know if this insurance company covers where you live, but have you tried Bluecross Blue Shield.

We are self-employed but are insured with Beech Street through IMED. Their insurance is largely for major medical. They give you 50 dollars for each of 3 office visits a year. They don't pay much at all, unless you have a major medical issue. However, the pharmacy is thorugh Regence and it's pretty good if you can get generics for everything you need. Lantus is 85, generics are $15 or less. Call them at 1-800-753-1000. They have a 12 month pre-existing waiting period. They aren't that good but when you have diabetes it makes one desparate; that's where I'm at.

The best way to get insurance as a person with diabetes is through a group insurance policy through work.
I know that having a chronic health condition like diabetes makes it difficult to get insurance individually if not down right impossible.
Keep hunting, I hope you find it!

How do you land a job when you need to admit, up front, that you have a disability? They are bound o find out when you apply for health insurance, and might not feel safe having hired you.

Couldn't an employer say that you got the job under false pretenses?
